"I wrote this book because I love my country and I'm concerned about our future," writes Bill Clinton. Arguing that the conflict between government and the private sector has proved to be good politics, but has produced bad policies, Clinton demonstrates that whenever we've given in to the temptation to blame government for our problems, we've lost our commitment to shared prosperity, balanced growth, financial responsibility, and investment in the future. "There is no evidence that we can succeed in the 21st century with an antigovernment strategy," writes Clinton, "with a philosophy grounded in 'You're on your own,' rather than 'We're all in this together'." He offers specific recommendations on how we can put people back to work and create new businesses, increase bank lending and corporate investment, double our exports, and restore our manufacturing base.
